I’m on the 20 yard line of life heading for the end zone hoping for overtime and have decided to put a little zip in my transportation. The Cybertruck should do the trick.

By the way the Cybertruck Website is back. Different but back. A whole lot of hubbub over NOTHING.

If I decided on a Ford, it would have a gas ⛽️ engine in it.

In numbers cost?

Teslas in Florida run on natural gas and coal.

They do elsewhere also, just not as obvious.

The #1 Selling Vehicle the Ford F-150 for the last 50 years or whatever the number is will be knocked outta the box once the Cybertruck is ramped up, no matter how long it takes it will happen unless they go nuts at Tesla with the prices.

I really don't understand your question???? I hope I answered whatever you posted!

Being a mechanic your entire life it must hurt you like hell to see the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine. Just Kidding! :1rotfl:

I don't like Mush I mean Musk but you gotta hand it to him he keeps people interested in his businesses.

There gonna hit a million cars this year and fsd is slowly being released

I will agree he’s overly optimistic and speaks pre maturely about released dates. I don’t know if he’s got a method to his madness but sales only go up so I guess he’s doing good?

He’s never fulfilled one single promise????? Give us some examples please. And explain how people are wasting their money and throwing it at him??? Tesla is the best investment I ever made .

You must share all this new info with us all. Maybe I should sell my Tesla and all my stock ASAP!!!

Are you from Canada?:1rotfl:

Even the high end Ford F150 and other competitors are out of reach for masses. But, good news you have the maverick and Santa Cruz coming. Maverick standard model is hybrid. In maybe another 20 years you might be able to make comfortable cross country trip if charging time can be reduced?

Then, there the grid and supply problems of electricity and in my opinion electricity in western states going to be problematic cause the are just about out of water. They got to solve that problem to even be able to charge and power everything electric or not? Or maybe 20 plus years another more reliable energy source make come or market?

Huh?

No I’m a Veteran USA

I’ve been to Canada

What’s the joke??

I was a Day 2 order for the Tesla model 3. After a promise of 10- 18 months came and went, I stayed with the program. After over 30 months of promises and blah blah blah from the Master Muskater, the party was over. Notably, it took almost a miracle and two months more to get the deposit back on a vehicle that was never made or delivered.
I guess outter space is a better place for his money, but not mine.
NEVER AGAIN WITH THAT COMPANY.

As to your 'further thought'. It makes a difference whether the federal or state/local governments supplied the breaks because there is a recurring theme in certain people that the Federal govt is evil and while local government is of the people. So when you bash a program stating the Federal govt did it, I see exactly that mindset. I also happen to believe you should state facts, real facts, not wrong information. Such an approach may not be fashionable to some in recent years.

I eagerly await your posting about how it is wrong for the govt to support private businesses giving figures for how much the oil and gas industry has received over the years in both tax credits, investment credits, nearly free access to public land, discounted drilling rights... Oil and gas got over 5 Trillion, with a T worldwide in 2015 Or even how much local govt in Sumter county has spent supporting the Morse family in their business expansions. Or how much the state of Wisconsin spent to entice a Chinese company to move there, with a big political boost from he who shall not be named. Or the nearly 9 billion given Boeing just by the state of Washington

Here is a list of the top 99 companies receiving subsidies. The list includes many who apparently, in your words, have a failed business plan, like Ford, GM. Toyota, Nike, every major gas company, Disney, Intel, IBM and don't forget Koch industries

What is so complicated with understanding what I said? I stated that I don't believe the government, at any level, should be supporting any business with public money. I don't give a rat's posterior what corporation or industry is being subsidized, it is wrong!

As far as the article cited, you were only trying to discredit it because it was by a "Putin" controlled news source. The original source, which was cited in the article, was the LA Times, a bastion of truth, justice and the American way.

Again, it doesn't make any difference what level of government provided the subsidies, it is still public money. Money that could be spent on infrastructure, schools, libraries, teacher's salaries, and on and on. If the business can't make it without subsidies they have a failed business plan. What is so hard to understand about that???

It doesn't matter what level the government it is, they are all corrupt.

Is battery powered really better?

Hi Everyone,

I was tempted to put a snide remark because I am not an Elon fan but then I figured I should probably post something more constructive. I have two questions.

Q1: Remind me again, based on the latest data now that we have multiple years of Tesla's on the road, when you factor in the cost of ownership for repairs, battery life, gas savings etc. How does a Tesla stack up vs a traditional gas powered car?

Q2: Is there any truth to the rumor that the production of the batteries actually creates a pretty large carbon footprint? And where & how are all these batteries disposed of when a Tesla's lifespan or its batteries are up?

Cheers,

Dylan

The people of the world had this same argument when the ICE first came out.
"I am sticking to horse and cart, these infernal machines will never take over."
How did that pan out?
Whatever happen, most of us can still burn gas until we are dead and gone, let the kids and grand-kids sort it out!

I am with you. Musk makes promise after promise after promise and never delivers. He is one guy in an office just sending out press releases and people just throw their money at him. What a waste. He has never fulfilled one single promise that he has made.

Yeah, all those Teslas on the road and the reusable rockets, and human flights to The ISS are just my imagination!

CA has trouble with fires/mudslides/all kinds of weather related issues that make you have to evacuate....so does FL and other regions that might need to "evacuate" for weather related issues....and then what? No thanks...you can have it. Just watch for power outages and where and when they seem to occur and then ask yourself, If I can not control where/when I get fuel to get away from where I don't want to be in a specified time frame, how much control would I have over the situation?
